West Ham United and QPR face off in a local derby and the Championship round nine opener, with the Hammers aiming to strengthen their promotion hopes. West Ham are regarded as the main favourites for promotion and showed plenty of character before the international break, coming from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Millwall. Mohamadou Kante is suspended, while Joel Veltman remains in the recovery room, but Nuno Espirito Santo has plenty of strength in depth. The hosts have scored 3.20 goals per game across their last five home matches.
QPR, meanwhile, are on a four-game winless run after playing out a 2-2 draw with Preston on Matchday 8. The Hoops have been more competitive on the road, winning 40% of their last five away fixtures and averaging 1.60 goals per game. However, Dennis Cirkin is suspended, while Ilias Chair, Karamoko Dembele and Tariq Lamptey all remain doubtful. QPR have also conceded in eight of their last 10 matches.
West Ham’s attacking potential and home advantage make Home Win our main betting tip, alongside Over 2.5 goals and West Ham Over 1.5 goals given their 4.60-goal home average.
This Championship match will be played on Friday 9 October 2026 at 20:00.
